Types of Sports Cars Many people have a great fascination for sports cars. These machines have a lot of power and torque, and most importantly are lower to the ground, contributing to proper aerodynamics against the wind. Moreover, they are generally available in either two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. Two-wheel drive ones are usually used for road racing or drifting, whereas AWD sports cars are used for rally racing. Just like any other cars, they are also divided into certain groups.

Types of Sports Cars

Ford FiestaAudi A3Subaru Impreza
Hatchbacks A hatchback can be a small or a mid-sized car which has two or four passenger doors and a raise-open door at the back. Hatchbacks are also known as three-door or five-door cars, keeping the back raise-open door in mind. These cars generally come at a low price and are known for better gas mileage and usability for a small family. Sport hatches are faster than big sports cars on roads with sharp turns, which is why they are more agile. Hatchbacks can be seen in any type of car racing, but are primarily found in road rally championships. For example, one of the best hatchbacks is the Ford Fiesta. Its 1.6-liter 16-valve Duratec I4 engine produces 120-hp with a mileage of 29/40 MPG in city/highway. Along with an acceptable mileage, the price of this hatch starts from a $15,500, which is pretty affordable. A good feature in the Fiesta is the AdvanceTrac electronic stability control which helps in proper control when a wheel slippage occurs. A few more good hatchbacks are the Subaru Impreza WRX, Volkswagen GTI, Audi A3, MAZDASPEED3, and the Volvo C30 T5.

Aston Martin Rapide Infiniti G37 BMW G37
Sports Sedans Car enthusiasts believe that sedans are a fuller type of race cars than hatchbacks. Sedans generally have four doors, and a trunk at the back for luggage. This makes them suitable to be used as passenger cars as well as sports cars when needed. Most race...

...My topic is a rally car made by the Japanese company Mitsubishi. This machine is considered one of the best rally cars in the world. And they are used as cars in our everyday life. The car I am going to be focusing on is the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution in Short Evo. The evolution is a racing car modern transportation car.
| Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution short (evo) is a product of Japan. It was created as a separate branch to the lancer. The Evolution was intended as a Professional Rally car. The car turned out so well that there were numerous requests for a road car. The evolution was then turned into a sports sedan. The reason I love Evolution so much and would like others to know is because of the way the car was created. If for example you are a driver that loves a sporty car but has a family the Evolution is perfect it has five seats so that the whole family can go. The car is also 4by4 which means that it can go through stormy weather and the drive can feel confident. The Evolution has great prices as well so that means that you can get almost up to three hundred horsepower and a turbo for an affordable price. One of the reasons that the Evolution is so famous is for its handling it was created for rally racing...

...﻿MY DREAM CARS
Everyone has their dreams. I also have a dream. I aim high to reach it. I know everyone wants to have a gorgeous car. I also want to have my dream car.
Cars have different types which is Sedan, Sportscar, Antique, MPV and Estate Car. I am nuts about cars. I dream it almost everyday. I would dream to have my own ‘Volkswagen Golf GTI’. I love thiscar because it is so gorgeous because of its body. I want it in an automatic transmission because driving an automatic car is as easy as pie than manual transmission. Besides, if I have that car, I want to change it to a sportscar.
Engine is the very important part of the car. Engine can make my car moves. It is better I turn it from ‘GTI’ to ‘GTR’ Engine which is made by Nissan Corporation in Japan. ‘GTR’ engine is the fastest engine. It is an original engine for Nissan 350z, Nissan 370z, Nissan Skyline GTR and Nissan GTR. Next, I need a big garage. So, I can put my car, motorcycle, and spare parts such as wheels, exhaust, spoiler hoods and lights.
In addition, I want to use my car to race with my friends at Litar Sepang. I do not want to take a risk race at the highway because it is so dangerous. It can cause an accident. If I have that car, I want it...

... The car has revolutionized transportation from the day a company named "Reo" sold its first car, the Curved Dashed Oldsmobile in 1901, to today. The topic of cars can be broken into many different categories, from SUV and sports to European and American. One maker of cars that has branched a lot in past years is Japan. Though we do not realize it, most of our cars come from Japan. The top car company as of 2011 is Toyota. Toyota is a Japanese automobile manufacturer that exports its cars all around the world. Japanese cars can be sub classified into three categories. These different branches of cars are owned by many people across Japan and the United States of America. Sports, casual and rally cars are the three main branches of Japanese cars.
What is a rally car? To answer this we must first know what rallying is. Rallying is a form of motor competition that takes place on public or private roads with modified production or specially built road-legal cars. These modified production or specially built road-legal cars are called rally cars.

THE MMS RUNNING CASE
MMS Rent-a-Car, based in Atlanta, Georgia, has outlets at major airports and cities throughout North America. Founded by CEO Elena Markum several years ago, it has seen fast growth over the past few years, mainly because it offers quality service, fast, at convenient locations. MMS is highly competitive, able to offer cars at slightly lower rates than its competitors because most of its airport facilities are located near but not at the airport. A keen user of information systems, MMS tracks competitors’ prices, stored in a large data warehouse, through its Web-based enterprise information system portal, CLAUDIA (Come Learn About statUs for Deals and Information on Autos). CLAUDIA also tracks sales, fleet status, other internal status information, and external information about the economy and its relevant components. CLAUDIA has been a great success in keeping MMS competitive.
The First Meeting
Elena calls the meeting to order: ELENA: Thank you all for coming on such short notice. I’m glad that we could schedule this meeting through our new scheduling module of CLAUDIA. I know you have all read my e-mail about our latest problem—sales are off by 10 percent. Basically, this will put us in the red for the year if it continues for another 4 months.

...How to put up a small car wash business

(First published in the Philippine Online Chronicles)
By Ma. Rachel R. Yapchiongco
A car is a valuable possession and a person who owns one often places great value on his vehicle. Many car owners take good care of their cars by keeping both interior and exterior components in good condition. To ensure that the car is in tip top shape, people bring their cars to the repair and service shop for routine maintenance. Car owners also put importance on how their vehicles look from the outside. They bring their cars to the nearby car wash for a good cleaning. After all, a clean and well maintained car reflects positively on the owner while a dirty and neglected car can have a negative connotation.
Putting up a hand car wash can be a lucrative business for a budding entrepreneur because the number of cars on the road multiplies every year which means an increase in car wash demand. This type of business needs time, effort and money. Initial investment may depend on factors such as rental fee of the place, type and size of car wash. Capital may also depend on whether you own the property lot or not. Aside from construction expenses, you also need money for administrative...

...﻿ I never thought I would ever say this, but I am starting to hate football. It has long been the sport I, as many other have enjoyed for years. No matter what event is going on Sunday, people will skip it to watch football. Maybe that is why just about every wedding occurs on Saturday and not Sunday, to make sure men don’t miss their own wedding. But, after taking this class I find myself disliking the sport more because of the role it play in development of masculinity to young boys. I used to think of sports as just a way to enjoy ones self and nothing more. But, this class has taught me how sports share a relation in society with the subject of race, gender, and class. And in doing so I have seen just how negative a part football does play in society. But it is not just the actually sport, but movies about certain sports in general. I used to think sports movies were used to display the American dream and coming out on top, but they also display the social processes of race, class and gender.
Varsity Blues is not just about sports, but is also considered a coming of age movie. What I see now is how the movie show the negative side of sports in how the ideas of race and gender are seen. The film takes place in West Canann Texas, where as any place in the state football is seen as a religion and way of life. Jonathan Moxon is the backup...

KIN 330 Sociocultural Analyses of Sport and Exercise
Sports Observation
Physical activity is a form of exercise of movement that includes daily activities and many different sports. Does physical activity have to be a vigorous form of exercise or movement? No, it doesn’t have to be only vigorous exercise or movements. Physical activity can consist of planned actions, like walking the dog, jogging, speed walking, doing chores, loading and unloading trucks, yard work, and other regular activities. A big portion of physical activities involves playing in different sports programs, competitions, or just regular sport pick-up games. For our observation we observed a UNCG Men’s basketball game at the Greensboro coliseum and watched how the players connected with the crowd and what was going through each other’s minds at the very last moments in the game. The atmosphere was kind of tense because we had been in a winning streak and wanted the basketball team to keep winning. Therefore, our sport observation of the basketball game reveals that sport and society are intertwined by how physical activity is a cultural phenomenon, having systems of powers, and having a panoptic mechanism as surveillance in our society that is dominant to the social world.
First, a cultural phenomenon can be defined as an amazing thing among people or events...

The Heroic Journey of Lightning McQueen
12/18/10
In the movie Cars, the protagonist, or hero, is a car named Lightning McQueen. McQueen is not just a car, but rather, a race car. The movie details McQueen’s journey as he becomes the master of two different worlds, the racing world where he is a god-like figure, and Radiator Springs, where he is an unknown outcast. The three main aspects of Lightning’s journey are his separation from the racing world, initiation to a new world, and the return.
The first stage of separation is the call to adventure. Followed by the refusal of the call and the crossing of a threshold.
Call to Adventure: In most situations, this call becomes the subject of the story or the plot of the movie. For Lightning, he thinks his call to adventure comes over the Public Announcement System when the tie-breaking race in California is announced. While this may be the obvious choice, but I don’t think that it is. We need to look at Lightning as the potential hero and observes how he grows over the course of the journey. He doesn’t grow in skill as a driver. He ran his first race at the beginning of the movie a lot better than the race at the end. The call to adventure is not always the destination, but the road leading to the destination. The adventure is in the hero’s growth. The growth that Lightning experiences is in his...
